DHCP: enhance DHCP release log

Commit 2aa23de58f added in a warning
in the event that a release failed. This would have no information
that can help anyone deal with it.

Also updated the release note to include a recommendation to use
a version of dnsmasq including dhcp_release6 on an upgrade, so
that the warning we are logging here will not happen.

fixes: upgrade:
- closes bug 1521666 - A version of dnsmasq that includes dhcp_release6 should
be installed on systems running the DHCP agent. Failure
to do this could cause DHCPv6 stateful addressing to
not function properly.
- The rootwrap filters file dhcp.filters must be updated
to include dhcp_release6, otherwise trying to run the
utility will result in a NoFilterMatched exception.
issues:
- Absence of dhcp_release6 when DHCPv6 stateful addressing
is in use may lead to bug `1521666 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1521666>`_.
Neutron supports dhcp_release6 now, but if the tool is
not available this leads to increased log warnings. Read
bug report `1622002 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1622002>`_
for more details.
